"Preston Street, also known as Ottawa’s Little Italy or Corso d’Italia, was identified as the “heart and soul” of the neighbourhood. Construction of a portal arch, spearheaded by the Preston Street BIA, will soon be completed. It is to be located near the intersection of Carling Avenue and Preston Street providing a gateway into Ottawa’s Little Italy."
